Hey dude try putting up a picture of western australia.That place is not the western desert i don't know where it is but it's not where i call home EPIC FAIL! This is the flattest country in the world there's no natural structure's like that here only Ayers rock and that defiantly isn't it!!! That looks like a scene from an american western.
Song brought to mind the wildfires in America in 2011 that the Feds withheld firefighters. But, there are those that point the finger at fires in rainforests or land clearing for food. Both are actually wrong but the US can put out fires if given the chance.
How do we sleep while our beds are burning --> how do we sleep while we are destroying the world.
The time has come to say fair's fair, to pay the rent --> the meaning behind that is that we should stop wasting the world and give nature back his health or something like that xD
Enjoyed watching this. I have shared on our new website called Qtellnet.com ( Social Network ) and also posted on my facebook page You can connect with facebook to Qtellnet and start sharing your videos with new contacts ...
great "peter gunn-ish" rhythm section on this one. makes me wanna get behind the cause of giving back captured lands around the world. but wait, does that mean i won't have modern amenities? nah...nevermind
@12BWB well this song is about giving back to not just the aborigines, but to all those natives who lost there land due to the greedy zealot-like euro's during the time of colonization.
The last part of the song reminds me that the time has come to undo 500 years of oppression and colonialism that was put on the indigenous and aboriginal people of the world over!
To all those criticizing the picture I have used in this video: if you saw my other videos, you would see that the pictures I choose have nothing to do with the song. I only try to find a background that would make it easy for the lyrics to show. I'm not very fond of videos that have a plain background, such as black or white. I guess it's personal preference, but I don't need a lecture from all of you about this band or where they come from.
Keep expecting to see cowboys and indians riding past! Legendary song by one Australia's best bands. How come you have used a picture that is so obviously not of Australia? Nice try but why don't you take this down, put in a picture of Ayre's rock or something so you don't look like an idiot!!!!
good job, I'm not sure,.. but think you can , (in about me section)>on your channel put all videos are for (educational purpose) and in the more section. or some such thing, can't remember exactly. cause i don't upload? maybe I can find the post telling me how? or you can search it here?
Now that is what I call music. I mean nowadays, there are no real lyrics... It's the sae line over and over and over again. I love this band. And I love this song. My dad told me what it was about.
I like the song but what does some place in the US have to do with an Australian song about how the indigenous people were treated unfairly by the white settlers.
I think that the version of this song by Jessica Boehrs (Novaspace) is much better than this Ozzie crap. And Jessica is absolutely hot! What does anybody else think?
@CrazyDave861 Are you kidding me! This is version is way better than that girls shit version. She looks too happy when she's doing the song which is a total give away that she doesn't know that this song is about the Australian Aborigines.
@yantanino27 thanks...I will do more videos if they don't remove them...so far they took down 2 videos because of "copyright infringement" and said I have one more strike before they'd close my account :/
What a great song and message on behalf of the Aborgine natives. Wish the US paid tribute to our native Americans like Midnight Oil did for their own. My regret is I didn't know about Midnight Oil back in the 1970s. Don't know how I missed them back then. Their music is still as powerful as it was back then.
Wish they could come back to the US for a tour, but doubt it will happen. My best to them all and all those who still keep their flame burning!!!
@goldenstarpcfl You're right, Midnight Oil probably won't tour U.s again because Peter Garrett is now in politics as Minister for the Environment, heritage and the arts here in Australia.
I'm just wondering, and I hope you won't be offended, but are you a fucking idiot? Haha...just kidding!
I mean the song obviously doesn't belong to you...so why tell us?
Also, whether you intend copyright infringement or not, you either have or you haven't.
That's the way it is. Legally, you haven't, because you make no money for the song. Youtube infringes however, if you use the song and they don't have any rights to it.
No offense taken. First, I made this song because I, as well as many others, like to listen to a song and sing along (or at least follow along with lyrics). That's the reason I made it, not because it belongs to me. It's one of my favorite songs and tunes. Furthermore, it's not paranoia...YouTube has deleted a few videos just like this one only because someone has reported it as infringement. If you have 3 strikes, they close your account. I've gotten 2 for these videos so far.
You shouldn't be ashamed to be white...white people didn't do it. It was British people. White people have also be enslaved by the Brits. But the Brits make it look like it's ALL white people. By the way, that also includes Dutch, Belgian, Germans. And it's governments, not people. If gov'ts were careful with other races and creeds so would regular people be. See, it's like this governments and corporations hate people. The way these entities treat people I would never treat anyone that I like.
@MrDarcyzPP you've said a mouthful. i wouldn't treat my worst enemy in that fashion. unless they intended to upend me, of course. ha. silly human nature
@Coretella I just hope they won't delete it as they did some of the others I've made, because if someone claims one more copyright against one of these, they'll delete my account :-/ But enjoy :)
The cover reminds of Wyoming in USA, but still combined with the song,it gives a strong anti-imperialistic and anti-assimillating message
